The report presented here overestimates the growth of women's sports. Although global revenue has increased, directly comparing it to men's sports ignores differences in viewership, broadcasting contracts, and sponsorships. Most of the revenue still comes from subsidies and external investments, rather than from direct generation of public interest. Furthermore, pay equity cannot be solved by revenue growth alone; it depends on market demand, which is still far from being equal to men's sports.
Ultimately, it is naive to believe that an increase in revenue is enough for women's sports to reach the same level as men's sports. The market follows the audience, not the desire of those who want to impose equality where demand does not yet justify it.
